The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and engraftment of donor hematopoietic cells using this conditioning regimen in patients undergoing a hematopoietic (blood forming) cell transplant for Hurler syndrome, Maroteaux Lamy syndrome, Mannosidosis, or I-cell disease.

The purpose of hematopoietic cell transplantation is to introduce hematopoietic cells from a normal donor that contains the enzyme able to get rid of the substances that have accumulated in the body of patients with storage diseases. Hematopoietic cells can come from bone marrow, peripheral blood (i.e., the blood circulating in our body's blood vessels) or umbilical cord blood (i.e. blood taken from the umbilical cord after a baby is born and umbilical cord is cut).

Other Name: Bone Marrow Transplant

Drug: Busulfan, Cyclophosphamide, ATG

Prior to transplantation, subjects will receive BUSULFAN intravenously (IV) via the Hickman line twice daily for 4 days, CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE intravenously via the Hickman line once a day for 4 days, and ANTI-THYMOCYTE GLOBULIN IV via the Hickman line twice daily for three days before the transplant. These three drugs are being given to help the new marrow "take" and grow. METHYLPREDNISOLONE will be given as a pre-medication for the ATG.

Other Name: Busulfex, Cytoxan, Thymoglobulin

Detailed Description:

Prior to transplantation, subjects will receive Busulfan intravenously (IV) via the Hickman line four times daily for 4 days, Cyclophosphamide intravenously via the Hickman line once a day for 4 days, and Anti-Thymocyte Globulin IV via the Hickman line twice daily for three days before the transplant. These three drugs are being given to subjects to help the new marrow "take" and grow.

On the day of transplantation, the donor's hematopoietic cells will be transfused via central venous catheter.

After hematopoietic cell transplant, subjects will then receive two drugs, cyclosporin and either methylprednisolone or Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF). Cyclosporin and methylprednisolone or MMF are given to help prevent the complication of graft-versus-host disease and to decrease the chance that the new donor cells will be rejected.

Patients with MPS type I, Maroteaux Lamy Syndrome (MPS VI), or mucolipidosis type II (I-cell disease) will have a mental developmental index within two standard deviations of the normal mean, as best as can be determined using Bayley scales of infant development or other standardized testing, recognizing that these may be affected by speech and/or hearing impairment.

Patients or parents are psychologically incapable of undergoing BMT with associated strict isolation or documented history of medical non-compliance

Patients >50 kg may be at risk for having cell doses below the goal of ≥ 10 x 106 CD 34 cells/kg and therefore will not be eligible to receive unrelated PBSCs.
